§ 22-29-307 — Change in boundaries of districts; exclusion of property from district

Any owner of property that is subject to assessment and payment
of tax by a special district, but who is precluded by applicable
state or federal law, rule or regulation from using the services
provided by the district, may file with the board of county
commissioners a petition praying that such lands be excluded
from assessment by said district. Petitions shall describe the
property which the petitioners desire to have excluded. Such
petition must be accompanied by a deposit of money sufficient to
pay all costs of the exclusion proceedings. The county
commissioners shall cause a notice of filing of such petition
to be published, which notice shall state the filing of such
petition, the name of petitioners, description of the property
mentioned in said petition, and the prayer of said petitioners;
and it shall notify all persons interested to appear at the
office of said board at the time named in said notice, showing
cause in writing, if any they have, why said petition should not
be granted. The board at the time and place mentioned in the
notice, or at the times to which the hearing of said petition
may be adjourned, shall proceed to hear the petition and all
objections thereto, presented in writing by any person showing
cause why the prayer of the petition should not be granted. The
filing by such petition shall be deemed and taken as an assent
by each and all such petitioners to the exclusion from the
district of the property mentioned in the petition or any part
thereof. The exclusion shall be allowed if an owner of assessed
property is precluded by applicable state or federal law, rule,
or regulation from using the services provided by the district.
This section shall be applicable only to petitions filed in
accordance with the provisions of this section on or before
March 31, 1999.
